carolina watchman wkkkly vol xix salisbury n c february 3 1862 numijkll (><>. 1 1 bruner i mil pill am i'lto i'll ik pill lor un watchman | scrape-hook mn editor tom hood said that other people keep soap-books but he j preferred a scrape book 1 and really on a j fair inspection of the times i have con 1 clud.d that it would be well for me to fol low that witty man's example i claim the liberty of making my scrape-book out of such scraps as my own fancy shall choose i would not ho understood a having a fancy lor these scrapes but sim \ ply as considering such and such things ' as worthy of bring noticed aud properly comuiriitrd mi as scrapes iu relating ill i 5 cidents i also reserve the privilege like sancho pania of making digressions of any length and any dumber that mv own last ur wishes may prompt if i state somethings that never happened the read er will never know it but will be wonder fully wise after he reads it for he will then kn.uv something more than ever did happen i write to excite the sympathy of the l r l render's of the watchman and hop that they may at least be warned by the revelations which 1 make the first scrape i would tell about occurred at church where indeed nearly half the real scrapes occur 1 bad a new iiat it was t tr,tu 'Â»< uiledernle mouse color from my patriot i.-oii or some other cause i probably never had a hat that 1 prized so dead it may be owing to the fact ihat when 1 bought it it was priced so dearly 1 likewise had a pair of liglit grey panta loons i stuck closely to them in both form aud feeling â€” in form because the cloth was so scarce that they were cut very small in feeling because i thought il doubilul whether 1 could get another pair in a long time i furthermore had a linen handkerchief which if not made in the south wns made first-rate somewhere it was a sacred article to me tor it was hem med aad marked by a few of the bweetest fingers that ever thread a needle i also ha.l a richly embossed gilt-edged hymn book â€” which was presented to me by a dear frieud of mine who used to no to school with mo at somewhere well on a beautiful sabbath 1 went to church in salisbury j was politely shown to a seal and was composing myself to hear the discourse un each side of rue sat some men who seemed from their appearance to be sensible polite and refined their clothes were good and their mem in ffener . al was prepossessing une of thein was quite devout as 1 heard him praying before the congregation kneeled i had never seen the minister who ofliciated before and hence as well as for other reasons noticed him closely and paid deep attention to all be ail and did while we were singing tho second hymn my hymn book and handkerchief fell from my hand to the floor \\ hen 1 picked it up imagine if you can my horror to find that my pre cious keepsake ha.l spread wide open iu a puddle of saliva which mv tobacco chew i ing neighbors had ejected in those few moments 1 loved tho old friend who gave it to me so much that my eyes instantly i filled with tears when i raised my handkerchief to wipe those tears away horror of horrors ! thc spittle was all over that too and got into my eyes and made them fiercely smart thinking that my face was rather uncaptivating with its filthy paint 1 hung my head when behold to increase mv confusion and distress i saw that whi.il i kneeled in prayer the knees of my favorite pants were baptized in tbe disgusting pud if terribly chagrined 1 determined t.i leave that church of ulotl and seek more decent company or spend the day alone stooping down and rais ing my hat i discovered that tt was spotted and striped with the same abom inable juice when 1 passed the stove my olfaotiones were greeted by a veiv un pleasant odor arising from the tobacco juice that other profaners of the sanctuary had squirted upon the hot sides of the store i felt that 1 was in a scrape i went to mys.-if and ruminated i thought that those filthy men couldn't be very near to perfection for cleanliness is next to godliness and they are a long ways from cleanliness i thought that they bad very little refinement for its the worst of manners to spit ou the floor of a common bouse and the lord's house has more claims to respect than any other 1 thought 1 would like to reform them and revolved a plan iu my mind i thought if they were my children or servants i wouhl whip them till they learned bettor manners i thought that as they were free white men i would watch hem nn.l all thoir class get their names and pub lish thorn this may probably break thnn i don't want to get into such a scrape again will you publish a list of these sons of pollution i strang kit gen f k zollieffer â€” the intelligence uf the death of this gentleman has caused among the tennessee
